Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.

The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.8km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR), about 3.4km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 14.4km to the nearest beach.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 46.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.67% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
